BenchCI Documentation

BenchCI is a lightweight hardware-in-the-loop test runner for embedded systems.

It allows you to define hardware tests declaratively and run them against real devices using UART, Modbus, and GPIO.

What You Can Do

With BenchCI you can:

  • flash firmware automatically

  • validate device behavior over UART and Modbus

  • control and monitor GPIO signals

  • run repeatable hardware tests in CI

  • collect structured test artifacts

How It Works

BenchCI uses two configuration files:

  • board.yaml → describes your hardware setup

  • suite.yaml → defines test logic

Execution flow:

benchci run → agent → hardware → results
